MOTOR FOR PU MP5.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,063, dated November 23, 1886.

Application filed August 21, 1886. Serial No. 211,533. (No modeh) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN A. HOOKEN- BERRY and ABRAHAM S. HOOKENBERRY, citizens of the United States, residing at Oakwood, in the county of Vermillion and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Motors for Pumps, of which the following is a specification.

' The object of our invention is to provide a simple and powerful motor for operating all kinds of house-pumps; and our invention consists in certain peculiar and novel features of construction and arrangement, -as hereinafter described and claimed.

In order that our invention may be fully understood, we will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in

i which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved motor. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 illustrates certain of the parts of the motor in detached condition.

Midway of the length of shaft 12 is mounted a gear-wheel, B, which is free to turn upon said shaft excepting for thefattachments hereinafter described. The wheel B is prevented from sliding laterally upon the shaft b by a rigid collar, 1), on one side, and a rigid clutch-section, 12 on the opposite side of said shaft, said collar and clutch-section turning with the shaft. At the end contiguous to wheel B the clutch-seotion is formed withperipheral ratchet-teeth b, which are engaged by a pawl, b, pivoted upon the corresponding side of wheel B, and held into engagement with said ratchet-teeth by a spring, b as shown.

if designates a sliding clutch-section, which loosely surrounds the shaft 1), and which is held normally into engagement with the fixed clutch-section b by a coiled spring, I)", which is interposed between the outer end of the clutch-section and the side piece a of the frame. This sliding clutchsectionb is operper side of lever 0, into engagement with one of two notches, 0*", in the under side of the upper arm of loop 0 D designates the spiral power-spring, one end of which is secured to shaft b, between the collar 2) and the side piece a, and the opposite end of ,which is secured to the top piece, a, of the frame. One end, b of the shaft is extended through the side piece a and carries a handle, If, by means of which the said shaft is turned to wind up the power-spring.

e designates a shaft journaled in the side pieces, a rd, of the frame, and below the shaft b, and carrying a rigid gear-wheel, E,'which meshes with the gear-wheel B on shaft 1).

f designates a shaft journaled in the side pieces, a} a and below the shaft 6, and carrying a gear-wheel, F, which meshes with the gear-wheel E above referred to. This shaft f is also formed with a crank-section, f, to which is journaled the upper end of a pitman, G, the lower end of which is connected pivotally to the pump-rod, said pitman working in a recess, a, in the lower cross-piece, a, of the frame. The ends of shafts e f are confined in their bearings in side pieces, a a by plates if, asshown.

' From the above description it will be seen that by turning the handle I) the shaft will be rotated (in the direction indicated by the arrow) and the spring D will be wound up, the wheel B remaining stationary, and the clutchsection b turning under the pawl b and past the clutch-section b. By moving thelever c to the right the motor is'allowed to operate, and by moving said'lever to the left the motor is stopped.

The motor-frame is to be set over the pump and the motor operates the pump-rod steadily and for a suitable length of time. The motor may also be readily applied to a railway-pump without requiring material alterations in its construction.

Having thus described our invention, What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with a suitable supporting-frame, and a shaft, b, journaled therein, ofa gear-wheel, 13, mounted loosely upon Said shaft and carrying a spring-pawl, b", and

a power-spring, D, secured at one end to the shaft and at its opposite end to the said frame,

i of a fixed clutch-section set rigidly upon the shaft and having ratchet-teeth for said pawl, a fixed collar confining the said wheel against said ratchet-section, a movable clutch-section, and an operating lever therefor, substantially as described.

2; The combination, with the frame a a a a the shafts e f, carrying gear-wheels E F, and the pitman G, journaled in crank-section f of said shaftf, of the shaft b, carrying gearwheel B, with its pawl b, and spring b the collar b, fixed clutch-section V, with its ratchetteeth b", the sliding clutch-section b spring b and power-spring D, the lever 0, having spring 0 and plate 0*, the hanger c, and loop 0', having notches 0 substantially as set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto affixed our signatures 30 in presence of two witnesses.
